The Dodge Coronet was introduced with the division's first postwar body styles. Lower trim lines were the Wayfarer and Meadowbrook. The only engine for Dodge was a 230ci flat-head straight six-cylinder engine with a single barrel Stromberg carburetor, producing 103 horsepower. The stock Dodge Coronet was a smooth-running car, and the six-cylinder engine could power the car to 90 miles per hour+. It had full instrumentation.
Our 1949 Dodge Coronet is an unrestored original that has been garage kept by a collector. The mileage is original and accurate, but we list it as believed original miles since the title says exempt. When the Dodge was originally purchased the dealer put on seat covers which are still on the seats. The seats beneath the seat covers appear to be very well preserved from what we can see.
The exterior of this black beauty has had one repaint with few wear and age marks. Since it has been garage kept the paint is well preserved. The body is very sound without any nicks, dents, or major scratches. The brightwork is also in good order, the chrome on the handles and lights are showing its age but still shines.
The interior has signs of wear, especially the door handles and on the wood trim. The seats are very well protected. Sit in the driver’s seat turn the key and the 49 fires right up. The engine has only had the hoses and spark plugs changed and it still runs solid. Put the Dodge in gear and it drives and shifts smoothly.
